Some slides and comments included here, particularly related to estimates,comments on expectations about future performance or business conditions,may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federalsecurities laws which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “project,”“might,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,”“plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern ourstrategy, plans or intentions. These forward-looking statements are subject torisks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and could cause actualresults to differ materially from those that we anticipate. While we believe that theexpectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, wecaution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of unknown factors, and it isimpossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Partnership’s Form10-K could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actualresults to differ materially from our expectations.

EBITDA Adjustments

Note: For years prior to 2013, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

(a) As permitted by and defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement.

(b) Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of

operating performance computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income, or cash flow from operating activities, as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly

titled measure of other companies.
